I didn’t take too many photos, but we did a fair amount of wandering around. It was also raining a bit, which… was actually a good thing, as we could see what a “worst case scenario” looked like, if it ended up raining on our wedding day.

The images I captured were all post-meeting, where Liz and I were more or less just wandering around, checking out different places on our own.

In the Lincoln Park Zoo Greenhouse.

The best part of the day was outside the Greenhouse, where I heard a boy talking to a friend as they were walking out: “Fern room? I don’t even know who Fern is!”

Liz and I have seen the seals before (they’re a favoriteofhers). But today was the first time I saw their keeper come out, and throw in some toys to the water.

I think that, inside those buoys… there are fish. Today was the first time I had seen the seals push out beyond the tank’s boundaries. For a few moments there, I was positive they would jump the gate and send kids screaming in all directions.
